We will smother under waves And sink to our graves
The scavengers will feast The only marking of our wake With our bodies strength They will rise up on legs
And fall to those who won the race to wings
Decay; (decay)
The mother who sees all her children to the grave (to the grave) With infinite patience she waits (she waits)
For the day (for the day)
She awaits the day the rot will overtake
We will drown on dead leaves And enjoin as we feed
The bloodthirsty branches
In their worship of the breeze With mad dances
To insane melodies
Until the day we succumb to the weeds
Decay; (decay)
The mother who sees all her children to the grave (to the grave) With infinite patience she waits (she waits)
For the day (for the day)
She awaits the day the rot will overtake
We are the children of Decay, and Mother loves us
We know this from the way She tucks us in, the ground our covers And though we grow, go separate ways, we still obey Her druthers And when we hear Her call, we all go home to Mother

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
Seattle’s Laden captures the storm and stress of the greatest, grimmest post-metal, crafting songs from 20-megaton riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 29, 2022
